Pill's

So How many pills does it take to keep you from going crazy???My Dr has put me on some meds and i dont wanna take more pills its been almost a month since i lost Aaron.Since that time i have broke out it to hives from stress and had to have a sleep aid for the Insomnia.Now they wanna give me Lorazepam for Anxiety.So does all these Pills make someone better or make them more Ill??So Whats next more pills intell they make me into someone who dont feel pain or do i just keep on praying and hopeing that theres got to be an easy to the pain with out meds?

doctors have a tendency to rely on pills. it's what they have been taught at med school. it's not difficult for a person who is prescribed a lot of pills to start thinking: &quot;hey there must be something really wrong with me, otherwise they wouldn't think i need all these pills!&quot;
don't fall into that trap. as you can see from reading the site, it's very normal to have anxiety, depression, stress, anger, hostility, difficulty communicating, irritability, hopelessness, and pain at this stage of the game. your doctor hears how miserable you are and feels somewhat helpless. &quot;if only there were a way i could help c26 back onto her feet. i know, i'll have her try a pill for each of her woes and maybe she will feel better.&quot; doctors usually mean well, they just don't have control over everything they'd like to control. like miscarriages for one example, and the patient's emotional state for another.
here's what i prescribe: check in on the site and make a note in your journal every day if you can, and every time i am here i will check to see how you are doing. this will be my first task when i get here until you are better. and you will get better.
if you are uncomfortable about the amount of medication, discuss it with your dr. and be very honest with him/her. he/she will tell you which ones are necessary all the time and which ones are okay to keep on hand. it might make you feel stronger to know that the meds are in your cabinet but you don't need them every day.
i know you can do this. you might need the meds they gave you for a while, but they are definitely not telling you that you need it forever. it's like, you know, a course of antibiotics. p.s. i will let you know as soon as you are going crazy: not yet. :)

I take two pills each night because of insomnia. I take 60mg of prozac everyday- used to need 110mg each day though. I'm beginning to need less and less. I think eventually they will wean you off of meds and you will feel better. Hang in there, time will help.

Christina26, there is nothing wrong with taking something if you feel you need it. Once you get your symptoms under control, then they generally want them controlled for a period of time before you get off them. And sometimes the meds take a month or so to get to the full effect of them. And if you aren't sleeping, it's not going to help you in your journey through grief. There are meds out there that don't make you numb, but do lessen the depression/anxiety so that you can get better. Although, I think some of what you are experiencing is normal. Again, maybe give the lorasepam and sleep aid a chance to work and see how you feel in a month before you go on something else. At least it would give you a good clue as to whether those meds are right for you. I hope this helps a little. PS, I've been on a mild antidepressant and it worked within 2 months of taking it, but I need to stay on it for 6 months with controlled symptoms so that when I do go off it, I don't end up back where I started and I do feel, just not so much all over the place.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
